An interdisciplinary team of UMBC professors has received $2.8 million from nsfgov to create a new master’s program focused on developing a more diverse environmental science workforce. "The primary mission of UMBC is inclusive excellence, and our program applies that mission to the environmental sciences,” says Tamra Mendelson. “Our main objectives are to bring a diversity of backgrounds to the environmental workforce and to improve the way that scientific research is applied to environmental problems.” #UMBC #STEM #environment #environmentalscience #STEMeducation #STEMdiversity #graudateschool
